Yesterday I opened "Options" for the first time in FF4 to reset my home page. Now, Options loads ITSELF into a new tab sporadically, spontaneously. What gives?

I had entered a custom home builders company page, which wouldn't load properly, but made a bunch of changes to my registry. I successfully ran CCleaner to clean up the registry, but when I loaded FF the site that caused me problems was now my new home page. I opened Options to reset home page to what it was before. That operation succeeded, but now every time I run FF, Options opens up spontaneously in a new tab.

Hi again, I solved the problem! :)
I deleted 2 files
user.js
prefs.js
and bingo, all is well.

I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Opening application for the first time warning keeps coming

I've installed VLC player and amongst other media files set mp4 to automatically open with it. When I double click a mp4 file it asked 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' etc. Pressed ok. After that it didn't ask that any more.
However, every time I reboot my Mac and double click a mp4 file again, I keep getting that 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' warning popup again the first time I want to open a media file. Then it's gone again, until I reboot my Mac again.
Every time I reboot and want to play a media file I always get that 'first time' popup. It only happens with VLC Player. I've uninstalled it completely and reinstalled it again, but that 'first time' popup for VLC Player keeps coming every time I reboot and upon the first time I open a media file.
How can I fix that?

Did you copy VLC to Applications folder? When you download VLC, you get it in a DMG file, that you have to open, and here's VLC. However, you don't have to copy the VLC copy you find in it, but you have to drag the VLC icon to the Applications icon:
Then, drag the VLC DMG file you find in the Desktop, drag it to Trash and delete the VLC installer from Downloads folder. Finally, open VLC from Applications folder

Do you have a Corp. Exchange account on your phone? I ask, because the requirement to encrypt an iPhone backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

Download music from ipod when opening iTunes for the first time?

I just got a new iMac at work and the first time I plugged my iPod into the comupter to charge it up it opened my iTunes and then started to download all my songs from my iPod. Being 7am I wasn't thinking properly and pressed cancle to stop the download, then I remember I have 500GB free memory and why shouldn't I have my music on the computer. The problem is I can't get it to download the music again. I know you not ment to be able to download from your ipod but that is what happened.
I have tried completely uninstalling iTunes by removing the icon in Applications and in the User>Music folder to get the same result but it makes no difference, where I once had a couple of meg's worth of music which had started to download I have none. Can somebody please explain to me how this happened and how I can revert iTunes back to how it was before I opened it so I can quickly download all my music onto my computer??

We'll unfortunately that's not true. I had though that was the case as well until this happened. I wasn't sure if this a new feature that iTunes had for when you first attach an ipod to a new iTunes (where you need to go through the terms and conditions, and set up your settings at the beginging).
I have downloaded very little from the iTunes store and the things which got downloaded were some funny adds which I had converted and put on my ipod as well as some AC/DC, some Beatles and a collection of 179 other songs (I'd be lucky if I've downloaded 5 songs in my life from iTunes). Before deleting everything in the hope that I could do it again I even played a couple of them in case all it had done was take the album artwork or something. But they all play fine and none of them were ones I had downloaded.
Does anyone know what's happened and how it can be repeated?
As to the other ways of getting music of your ipod I'm aware of them and have used irip in the past without any problems. I know how to do it that way but now that I have been made aware of this other way I was wanting to clear up how it happened and if it can be repeated, say if I was to reinstall iTunes.

When I click on Firefox for the first time after I boot my PC it takes three minutes to but after that new Firefox windows open promptly.

Hello and thank you for being available to receive this enquiry.
I like Mozilla.
I like Firefox.
In recent months I have experienced and accumulation of problems. Today (September 25th, 2011) I have set about trying to deal with them.
After consulting your Troubleshooting Section I have made a range of changes that I hope shall resolve problems like freezing, unresponsive scripts, non responding windows and browser crashes.
At the time of writing I have rebooted after making those changes so I have yet to discover whether they solve those problems.
However, I have chosen o write now as I already am re-experiencing the first problem I encounter when I boot my PC, i.e. Firefox takes three minutes at least to start after I click the icon. Once it has started, however, ne Firefox windows open promptly.
How do I solve this? I rememebr a time when Firefox opened with lightning speed whenever I clicked the icon.
Thank you for your valued help and interest.
Patrick O' D.

Hello Patrick O' D,
In my experience t here are two different problems with the speed of firefox on startup
# your os and setup
# firefox - and exactly what you use with it
Some factors will be down to your OS and for instance what does start up initially, many of those factors will affect other programmes/applications and not only firefox.
Some other factors depend on Firefox and how you set that up, I always like to have the option to using Firebug but realise it cold clash with other software or slow down firefox startup so I only enable it as I need it. see for instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/performance/

When i open a new tab even i have set the start page in "blank" babylon home page keeps coming on.always on new tab.never when i open firefox for the first time. what can i do to fix the problem?

I just opened iWeb for the first time in several months and the fonts have changed and are garbled in the headers. Is this a result of switching to Lion, and does this mean I have to go through all 70 pages on my site and manually change them back?

The text on my pages are messed up. The letters in my headers are on top of each other and the letters in the body of my pages have no separation between them. Is this a result of switching to Lion? (I haven't opened iWeb in several months, since before I installed Lion.) Any ideas of how to fix this, or do I need to go text block by text block and page by page to put it back right? Thanks.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Another problem when trying to open iTunes8 for the first time

I have just downloaded iTunes8 and after the installation received the message: - "iTunes has been installed successfully./"
However, when trying to open it, I too have a problem and the message I get is: - "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please re-install iTunes."
The previous version ran OK and I have de-installed it and re-installed it 3 times and each time I get the same message that it has been installed successfully but the same message sayind ome files are missing when I try to open it.
I have checked the QTime is up to date and it is. Anyone else had this problem?

I am getting this error message as well. I have just downloaded Lightroom recently. I try to click on Lightroom / preferences....and nothing happens. I tried to uninstall and it is greyed out so I can't do that either. Suggestions? Please help?
